P!NK PREMIERES VIDEO FOR "TRY"

American singer-songwriter P!nk has premiered the video for "try," the second single to be lifted from her current album "The Truth About Love." The track follows the lead single "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" that hit number one in Australia back in July.

The video was directed by Floria Sigismondi (Ellie Goulding's "Anything Could Happen," Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away") and sees P!nk take on an Apache dance act with New York dancer Colt Prattes.

In other news, the superstar has just announced another seven shows to her Australian "The Truth Above Love" Concert line-up, bringing the total to 19 shows... and this is only based on pre-sale tickets.

Global pop superstar and singer-songwriter legend P!nk has premiered her brand new single "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)." The was track penned by the 32 year-old and Greg Kurstin.

The pop-rock sound is definitively P!nk, with an undeniable touch of Kelly Clarkson (which could easily be attributed to the production of Kurstin, who's responsible for Clarkson's "Stronger" and "Dark Side").

Originally scheduled for a release this coming weekend, the single's availability was brought forward due to a recent leak. With the track being available now for only just 48 hours, it's already sitting pretty at #1 on the Australian iTunes singles chart.

The "Funhouse" singer has also confirmed the name of her upcoming sixth studio album "The Truth About Love."

Preview P!nk's new track, Bridge of Light, from Happy Feet Two

US singer/songwriter P!nk has lent her vocals in more than one way to the upcoming movie Happy Feet Two. Not only does she feature on the soundtrack with a new track titled Bridge of Light, she also lends her voice to the character Gloria.

The movie will be out from 18 November (US) and 15 December (Australia). Take a listen to P!nk's Bridge of Light below.

[VIDEO PREMIERE] JESSIE J "NOBODY'S PERFECT"

After some pretty well celebrated success with her hits Do It Like A Dude and Price Tag (#2 and #1 in the UK respectively), Jessie J is about to provide us with the third single to be taken from her Who You Are debut album.

Nobody's Perfect is the that single. Similar to Price Tag, the Jessie J and Claude Kelly co-penned track shows off her vocal talents in a very catchy pop number. Similar to something you'd expect from P!nk, it has that angry-girl-pop vibe, and it suits well.

The video has an Alice in Wonderland feel to it - complete with tea party, corridors, doors, clocks and JJ looking kinda freaky in a blonde wig. Note to you Jessie J, stay a brunette.

TONIGHT, ENRIQUE IGLESAIS IS *AHEM* LOVING YOU

Well, on the radio edit he is. On the not-so-G-rated edit, well..., it sounds a little different. On that version Enrique is, well..., fucking you. Apparently, Enrique Iglesias was desperate to get on the Cee Lo Green and P!nk "Fuck" Wagon that we have two versions of his latest smash available.

Tonight (I'm Loving You) and Tonight (I'm Fucking You) were both released digitally last week in Australia, and the track(s) have made a record smash on the recent ARIA Singles Chart debuting at #3 this week. The "fucking" track was featured on a deluxe limited edition of Enrique's Euphoria album, released in France in December... so expect to see a similar type of release here in Australia in the coming months.

So why am I blogging about Enrique Iglesias? Well, the video. I've just come across this and I have to say I'll be surprised if it makes it to Video Hits (ha!) on a Saturday morning. Whilst there's no "fucking" in it, there's lots of "fucking" in it. Very raunchy... and really, that's probably the only reason why it made it onto this blog.

Come now, tell me you didn't think I was that pure? Enjoy my dear friends.

Tonight (I'm Fucking You) is available digitally now. [ITUNES]

IT'S OFFICIAL - AUSTRALIA LOVES P!NK AND P!NK LOVES GAY MARRIAGE

To be honest I think we already knew that Australia seems to be mesmerised by P!nk - after launching it here on this blog, P!nk's latest single Raise Your Glass was rushed to digital media and within 24 hours of doing so, was #1 on iTunes Australia.

If the single stays at the top of the iTunes chart for another 24 hours (very, very likely), P!nk will have scored herself her fourth #1 single in Australia, knocking Rihanna from the top spot with her latest single Only Girl (In The World). Of course we'll need to wait 'til Sunday for the "official" announcement as ARIA post this weeks results on their site.

The track, which was penned by P!nk herself and pop master Max Martin (responsible for way to many pop smash hits to mention, working with artists such as Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Taio Cruz, Adam Lambert, etc) is taken from her greatest hits album to be released in Australia on November 15, titled Greatest Hits... So Far!

After chatting with MTV.com a few days ago, P!nk revealed info about the video clip, which started shooting on October 4:

"I will be celebrating a gay wedding [in the video]," she said of the clip, which she said was shooting this week. "I am not the minister. ... There's so many [celebrations]. Of course typical psychotic me, it's 80,000 different things going on."

Pink said the video's theme was inspired by real-life experience. "I threw my best friend's wedding in my backyard — [she] is gay and she married her wife, and it was absolutely beautiful," she recalled. "At the end of it, her mom said, 'Why can't this be legal?' and started crying. It was just the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen, so that's why I'm doing it in my video. "

Well surprise, surprise. Another super star supporting gay marriage. I swear, if this country's government (ie: Gillard - yes YOU) doesn't hurry the bejesus up and move past their ignorant, Neanderthal laws... well, well... I might just burst out in song.

Back to P!nk. The video should be out in the next few weeks - stay tuned, you'll see it here first!

*BRAND NEW* P!nk / Raise Your Glass

P!nk is set to release her new single, Raise Your Glass, which was today serviced to Australian radio.

The new track is lifted off P!nk's greatest hits compilation that will be launched early November titled Greatest Hits... So Far!

I haven't heard the track as of yet, but knowing how much this country loves P!nk, I'm pretty confident it'll be another smash hit.

Australia really seems to have adopted Ms Moore, with her 2 previous albums - Funhouse and I'm Not Dead - both achieving 11x platinum sales here (in excess of 770,000 copies).
